Clarkson bought this property – then called Curdle Hill Farmhouse – in 2012. The Top Gear star recently blew the property up in order to build a new luxury home.
After the previous maintainer retired, Clarkson wanted to take matters into his own hands. In 2021, a TV series "Clarkson's Farm" premiered on Amazon Prime, documenting his first foray into the farming world. The farm is now named after how much Clarkson knows about farming: "The Diddly Squat Farm".
